Homeless Students / McKinney-Vento Grant

Kent ISD is committed to helping our students who are experiencing homelessness through the McKinney-Vento grant. Each public school district and academy has a Homeless Liaison who assists with enrollment, academic support, and ongoing needs.

Does your student attend a state or federally funded preschool program?

Students attending state or federally funded preschool programs (GSRP, Head Start, ECSE) are also eligible for MV / Homeless services including: immediate enrollment (if space is available), right to school of origin, transportation to continue in school of origin (if in best interest of the student), eligibility for school meals (based on their program's participation)

If your child attends a GSRP program (outside of GRPS) and is experiencing homelessness, contact Stacey Bright at 616-447-5679 [if your child attends a GSRP program within GRPS and is experiencing homelessness, contact Tamara Dillon at 616-819-2519]
